I just wanted to post a little blog message thanking everybody for such a wonderful time at PUSCPS this term. The children have been so incredibly kind, hard-working and hilarious, and everyone has made me feel so welcome.

I’ll miss this school a lot, and I’m sure that P5 are going to be absolutely incredible as they go into P6. Keep on shining like the stars that you are!

From Miss Thomson and Primary 5

This week we have been learning about extinct species. We have worked in groups to create posters which we will present to the class next week. Here are some interesting facts we have learned from our online research:

• Tasmanian tigers were not actually a big threat to humans
• Dodos ate nuts
• Woolly mammoths’ ears are shorter than the ears of a modern elephant
• Modern science thinks that the tyrannosaurus rex had feathers as well as scales
• The big teeth that a sabre-toothed cat had were really good for hunting!

In other news, some children reached level 10D on their 55 Club multiplication activities- well done everyone! We have also been learning how to add amounts of money involving a decimal point.

This week we also played some football in PE and it was really fun.

Have a good weekend!

P5 Termly Learning Overview

Literacy

This week we have been doing some writing using our class laptops! We use Class Notebook on Teams as an online jotter. Class Notebook is good because you can use dictation (speak a story out loud and the computer will write it down) or immersive reader (which will read your work out loud so you can listen and check that your work makes sense). You can also add images or links to your story.

We are still reading Holes as our class novel, and now we have group reading books. These are Double Act, Follow That Spy!, The Return of the Hundred-Mile-Dog, and Fantastic Mr Fox.

Numeracy

This week we started our Money topic- some of it is a bit tricky but we’re working really hard! We have also introduced the ’55 Club’ scheme to help us with our multiplication and division skills.

Health and Wellbeing

We have been continuing with our work on internet safety and how to be responsible online using a series of videos called Band Runner. The videos are funny and teach you important lessons!

IDL

We have just started our new IDL topic: Our Planet. We came up with ideas about what we know, want to know, and how we would like to learn. We are beginning the topic with some work on endangered and extinct species.

Have a good weekend!
